DISCOVER A TASTE OF WALES The Welsh Lovespoon A handcrafted gift made of a solid block of wood, the tradition of a male admirer crafting a lovespoon for a young woman indicated to the woman’s family that he was skilled and capable with his hands. The oldest existing lovespoon in Wales dates back to 1667. Each specific carving on the spoon is symbolic, from the eternal love of the Celtic knot, to the twisted stem indicating togetherness

Welsh National Flag It took until 1959 for the Welsh national flag to be officially unfurled for the first time. The significance of the dragon in Welsh culture is believed to date back to Arthurian legend when Merlin had a vision of a red dragon (representing native Britons) fighting a white dragon (the Saxon invaders).

NORTH WALES COAST

Enjoy Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel Set within the grounds of a romantic castle, but with all the amenities of a modern hotel, this AA 4-star hotel has it all. In a beautiful countryside location, it’s only half an hour from Llandudno’s beach and pier. You could also explore other local gems like the beautiful Bodnant Gardens or Snowdonia.

Bustling seaside towns, less than two hours from the England border near Chester with an extensive range of family attractions and miles of sandy beaches – the North Wales Coast is a Welsh Riviera of contrast and charm.

Llandudno is known as the Queen of Welsh Resorts. It’s not difficult to see why with its wide promenade backed by a graceful crescent of Victorian buildings. From Llandudno’s tranquil atmosphere and Victorian charm and extensive range of accommodation to Colwyn Bay, with its water sports activities and the sheltered harbour of Rhos-on-Sea, making it an ideal area for water-sport activities, fishing or a gentle stroll.

Mountain biking, walking, leisure and adventure activities are all on the doorstep as well as an opportunity to take in the local cultural heritage.

The district provides a stunning and accessible year-round base from which to explore all that North Wales has to offer and the huge choice of accommodation caters for every possible budget and requirement.

Sample the delights of the area in the diverse range of cafes, bistros, restaurants and pubs where locally sourced and often award-winning produce is featured.

Many an hour can be passed browsing the independent shops retailing crafts, clothing, gifts, local produce and art galleries showcasing Welsh artists. The extensive collection of outdoor shops means visitors will never be short of gear for their mountain adventures.

Whatever visitors are seeking, the people of Betws-y-Coed aim to share their wealth of knowledge, information and experience of all the area has to offer.

Beyond the mountains of Snowdonia lies two famous historical bridges over the Menai Strait to Ynys Mon, the Isle of Anglesey – with its 125 miles of Coastline, a paradise of wild flowers and birdlife – not to mention all types of watersports.
